Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th of May 2012

On Sunday 27th of May 2012 we will be hosting the annual Dukes tournament for senior teams. During the tournament there will be teams from throughout Europe and The Netherlands playing against each other, which will make it a great weekend to enjoy with rugby enthusiasts from all over Europe. Saturday night there will be a party in our clubhouse for all teams playing on Sunday with music, drinks and snacks. This is a perfect chance to meet and drink a beer with your opponents and wish each other good luck for the upcoming games.

On Saturday 26th of May 2012 our youth tournament will be played, which is one of the biggest in The Netherlands. After the games on Sunday our clubhouse will also be open to celebrate the ending of yet another good and sportive weekend!

Having organized a 15-a-side tournament for 32 years we decided two years ago to change the format to 10-a-side. This turned out to be a great success and as everybody will agree with us, never change a winning streak!

During the tournament it will be possible for senior teams to stay overnight, on Friday and Saturday, in tents with access to toilet and shower facilities. You will need to bring your own sleeping gear.

- Tournament fee is € 100,00 per team. (€ 50,00 will be paid back at the tournament in the form of consumption tickets)
- Prices to stay overnight in the tent camp including use of shower and toilet facilities will cost € 15,00 per person. This includes Friday and Saturday night. It is strictly prohibited by the local city council to put up own tents next to the pitch.

Due to the unique location of our clubhouse it is possible to enjoy both rugby and music. During the weekend our city ?s-Hertogenbosch will host Jazz in Duketown, a spectacular music event with stages set up all over town full with live jazz and pop music. Our clubhouse is only 5 minutes walk from the city center, which makes both events easily to combine.

We will post more information on our website: www.dukesrugby.nl

Sportive greetings,
